　　How the "modern version of the magic pen Ma Liang" was made

　　Draw 3D stereoscopic paintings

　　Netizen: Can you draw me a girlfriend?

　　I think you have heard the phrase "masters are among the people" many times. In our life, there will indeed be some "artisans" with stunt skills. They have amazing abilities.

Cao Zhi is one of them. His superb painting skills can make paintings that originally only existed on paper become three-dimensional and realistic. Many people praise him as "the modern version of Ma Liang".

　　What is the magic of his paintings?

Seeing that he put the cicada he drew with the real object, netizens exclaimed, "Which one is real? Which one is fake? I can't tell the difference." It dawned on me that this was just a drawing.

He drew a few more peanuts, and the parrot next to him immediately came over to peck... Some netizens even teased him and said, "Draw me a girlfriend." The three-dimensional portrait of the girl appeared on the paper, and the netizen replied, "I suspect that you lied to me with the photo."

　　Realistic paintings and interesting interactions have enabled Cao Zhi to have 5 million fans in a few years. Many of his works have been viewed more than 1 million, and many have reached 5 million.

Cao Zhi told reporters that when he first came into contact with the short video platform, he would upload some color pencil paintings, but the number of views and likes was very small.

In 2018, by chance, he saw a foreign 3D three-dimensional painting on the Internet. This kind of painting method of drawing three-dimensional graphics on a plane made his eyes bright, "I have never seen it before, how can it be so fake. What about it? It’s incredible.” So he began to look for materials on the Internet to learn, hoping that his paintings could also achieve this effect. “At that time, I studied with a mentality of not admitting defeat, thinking that other painters could do it. I can do it, too."

　　Since then, Cao Zhi began to study the techniques of 3D stereoscopic painting attentively.

He started thinking about three-dimensional characters, and gradually turned to some simple three-dimensional patterns. "Because no one taught him, he groped himself, so he took a lot of detours." Cao Zhi told reporters that at the beginning, even the simple patterns, he painted Countless times.

After a period of practice, he gradually mastered the tricks and finally drew the first decent three-dimensional painting - a red rose.

"It's just a very simple rose, but because it had reached a sense of realism at the time, after it was posted on the short video platform, the number of views reached more than 1 million, attracting the first group of fans. That work made me feel at once. With confidence, I am more willing to spend time to study." Cao Zhi said.

　　How to draw realistic 3D paintings?

　　Accumulation of a large number of basic skills, practice "wonderful hands"

　　So how are these 3D stereoscopic paintings that are fake enough to be real?

　　Cao Zhi told reporters that drawing 3D three-dimensional paintings is a test of the practitioner's skills, and he must have a certain ability of realism and the ability to perceive and use light and shadow. Master the Transforming Technique."

　　Cao Zhi told reporters that the biggest difference between creating 3D three-dimensional paintings and ordinary paintings is to draw "deformed" objects. However, when drawing a 3D painting, it needs to be drawn in a circle. The whole figure is higher than that of ordinary painting, showing the shape of a big head and a small foot. After painting, take a picture obliquely to show a three-dimensional effect. The principle is similar for other animals and people, to draw objects higher and longer."

　　The reporter saw that in many of Cao Zhi's works, the objects presented three-dimensional relief shapes, especially animals, as if they were about to jump out of the paper at any time. At the same time, in order to achieve a better effect, some works will do some cutting processing on the edge of the pattern, so that the three-dimensional effect is more obvious, and it has a feeling of "popping on paper".

　　Cao Zhi said that these tips are all summed up by himself. "My videos not only show the realistic effect of the work, but also share the painting tips with netizens. I still remember that I once sent a painting tutorial of dozens of seconds. , I drew a very simple little object at that time, but the number of likes and views was very high, and a single video made me gain more than one million followers." Cao Zhi said that the tutorial was welcomed by everyone, and he was surprised.

He is very happy to share his experience with netizens, so this kind of tutorial videos will continue to be updated.

　　Speaking of exploring the field of 3D three-dimensional painting, Cao Zhi said: "In fact, first of all, it is necessary to accumulate a lot of basic painting skills, and to have a certain grasp of the use of light and shadow. These are the results of repeated training in ordinary times. After the painting skills are solid, I think about innovating and using 3D painting to make the work more subtle."

　　The reporter joked: "In this year's college entrance examination composition, I talked about the relationship between the three terms of Go, 'master hand, skillful hand, and common hand'. The master hand refers to the regular moves that conform to chess logic; the fine hand refers to the unexpected subtle moves; the common hand It refers to the tricks that seem reasonable, but will usually be damaged from a global perspective. Teacher Cao, isn't this a ready-made interpretation of 'master' and 'master'!" Cao Zhi said with a smile: "Maybe my painting skills It's a 'master', and the 3D painting technique I figured out is a 'master'!"

　　Wide range of subjects, everything can be drawn

　　"Little girl with painted legs" is the most satisfied

　　In Cao Zhi's pen, everything can be painted.

When the child wants to eat fish, he draws a lively black fish; when he wants to eat fresh water, he draws a lobster; his wife likes small animals, so he draws a cute and cute puppy... He not only draws animals Well, painting life ornaments is also a must. The cones floating in the air, the cups for drinking tea, the screws standing on the paper, and the lotus flowers that emerge from the mud and are not stained are all painted by him so lifelike that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

　　Cao Zhi said that in more than 4 years, he has created about three or four hundred 3D three-dimensional paintings, but the work of "Little Girl with Drawing Legs" is the most impressive.

In this work, a girl in a yellow dress is sitting on the ground with one hand on the ground, holding a pencil in the other and drawing one of her legs.

The girl wore a long black ponytail, and her hair was clearly visible.

The way she sits quietly on the ground and draws her legs makes many netizens feel distressed.

Cao Zhi said that this work is of a little girl in his studio. The little girl is very cute. She was in the studio that day with a pencil in her hand, "The scene is very beautiful, so I took her photo. After I came down, I drew this work based on the idea of ​​the photo." Cao Zhi told reporters that in real life, the little girl does not only have one leg, but an artistic creation, "So netizens don't worry about the little girl!" he said with a smile.

　　The reporter learned that Cao Zhi, 40 years old this year, was born in an ordinary rural family in Suqian, Jiangsu Province. "When I was a child, I liked to draw. At that time, no one taught me, and I just doodled by myself. I was praised by my family, so I became more and more interested in painting." Cao Zhi said that he only came into contact with the systematic teaching of painting in the extracurricular training class since junior high school.

In college, he studied at Suqian Normal School in Jiangsu Province (now Suqian Higher Normal School), majoring in art education.

After graduating, he worked as an art teacher in a junior high school in his hometown for two years. "After two years of working, I felt that the three-point and first-line life was not what I wanted, so I resigned and went to Shanghai alone."

　　After working in an advertising company for a period of time, Cao Zhi started his own business and opened a gallery, studio, and art company, and later engaged in art training in his studio.

"I am very grateful for my courage and perseverance in those years, which allowed me to continue to engage in the career I am interested in. I I am very happy that my 3D three-dimensional painting can be loved by everyone, and I also want to share this 'magic' with everyone. I hope that in the future, I can fill the world and teach more excellent painters.
